Having arrived from Northampton in 1879 which was then the traditional heart of the UK shoe manufacturing industry.  The Company passed through the family & still remains in the ownership of the Rye family, making its’ way through 5 generations and surviving two world wars, where staff and family members were called into serving their Country, through the years of rationing, material shortages and several economic depressions.
